Encryption: Congress Does Something Good (@wired)

From Wired, “Even Congress Is Slamming That Crummy Crypto Bill”:

But merely the recognition from Congress that it needs to learn more before making any decision on the thorny topic of encryption represents progress, says privacy-focused Cato Institute fellow Julian Sanchez. “That may be the most hopeful sign. The dangerous thing is to be… too ignorant to recognize your own ignorance,” he says. Now, he says, “there seems to be willingness to learn, rather than an insistence on getting to what they ‘know’ is the right outcome.”

Sanity in Congress, for once.
